The Thin Red Line Book Description
The Crimean War was the first war in which ordinary British soldiers recorded their experiences, and Julian Spilsbury's narrative is drawn from the diaries and letters of soldiers of this most famous Victorian army. From the initial landings in an exotic land to the battles, the Charge of the Light Brigade and the final victorious assault, the story unfolds through the words of men - and women - who were there.
